Day 4408
Day 4408 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Commotion at The Anchor! Hattie Whitlow and Mabel Tidewater came to (very gentle) blows over a disputed game of dominoes. Hattie Whitlow is not currently speaking to Mabel Tidewater. Mabel Tidewater is cooling off in the Sheriff's holding cell after the business at The Anchor. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Talent Night at The Anchor reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
